Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps, "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator says "Calm down. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a gun shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says "OK, now what?"

Two friends, one from the Czech Republic and the other from Russia, were hiking in the forests of Eastern Europe. Sadly, they encountered a couple of bears and were killed. Search parties finally found evidence of the attack, and hunted down the bears and shot them, one male, one female. With a bit more work they discovered that the bears had eaten the hikers.

"Oh, no," one fellow said.
"What?" asked another.
"I found the remains of the Russian in the female. Do you know what that MEANS?!"
"Um, that female bears like Russians?"
"No, you idiot. This is much worse."
"How much worse?"
"It means the Czech is in the male."

An argument is two people sharing their ignorance.

A discussion is two people sharing their understanding, even when they disagree.

I like massive shaggy dog stories - the longer, more well-written and plotted leading up to the pun ending, the better. It's oddly gratifying to see something so elaborate amount to something so small and silly, in a sand mandala kind of way.
